1Best Joint Health Supplements to Help Fight Pain
2When your joints get stiff, inflamed, and achy,
doing even basic activities can be painful (and
frustrating). Sometimes the pain is temporary,
like the kind of soreness you might feel after a
long day being desk- bound. But for the 15
million Americans who suffer from arthritis,
joint pain is a chronic condition that needs to
be managed.
3Which joint supplements have proven benefits?
So far, research shows that the supplements below
may help improve joint pain and overall joint
health ? Curcumin This is the active compound
in turmeric that gives the spice its flavor and
color. Its known for its anti-inflammatory
effects, as it disrupts pro-inflammatory cells in
the body, according to Thomas Wnorowski Ph.D., a
clinical and biomedical nutritionist and the lead
researcher of the Neurolipid Research Foundation
in Millville, NJ.
? Boswellia Boswellia serrata or Indian
frankincense is one of those dark horses in the
world of anti-inflammatories. According to the
Arthritis Foundation, it works by blocking the
enzymes that turn your food into the molecules
that attack your joints. In 2018, researchers
who conducted a systematic review of 20
osteoarthritis-relieving supplements found that
boswellia extract was a standout for easing joint
pain.
4? Fish oil
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil have been
extensively studied for their anti-inflammatory
effects for many conditions, including arthritis.
Some researchers have found that people
suffering from osteoarthritis who took 200 mg of
EPA and 400 mg of DHA (fish oils active
ingredients) daily for 16 weeks experienced less
chronic pain. Fish oil has also been proven to
be an effective treatment for gout, a common but
complex form of arthritis where symptoms tend to
be more sudden and severe. For an effective
fish oil supplement, then, youll want to find a
brand that contains a minimum of 500 mg of
combined EPA and DHA, says Valentina Duong,
A.P.D., owner of the Strength Dietitian.
